That is actually not true. My call of hSetBuffering stdin LineBuffering wasn't actually happening (I put it after a call to exitWith). Just for the archives (and anyone interested) I figured I should clarify that bit of misinformation. It seems that as long as you set stdin's buffering back to LineBuffering before you exit, you are safe from messing up the terminal settings. -- David Roundy http://www.abridgegame.org
